Over two days, Score Group plc celebrated the successes of their apprentices at the annual Apprentice Awards and Christmas meals. Held at the Tufted Duck Hotel, St Combs, on the 19th and 20th December over 200 apprentices attended alongside mentors and company directors, as well as special guests from local academies and NESCOL to recognise the trainees’ achievements.

At Score Energy we strive to increase the number of female apprentices we take on yearly, not because it makes up any “numbers quota” but because we find they make great apprentices. It’s often found that girls are more prepared for their new role and excel in their engineering apprenticeship, yet over the last decade in the UK, no more than 5% of young people starting an apprenticeship in engineering have been female in any one year.

The success of Scotland’s top Engineering Apprentices was celebrated at an award ceremony, held in Peterhead on Thursday 4th October, as the winners of the 2018 Scottish Engineering Craft Competition were presented with their awards.

Saturday (6th October) saw the 2018 North East Scotland College (Fraserburgh Campus) Graduation ceremony take place. Once again, Score Group plc was delighted to be part of the proceedings to not only congratulate its own graduates but also to share in the success of the future generation.

In 2003, Score Energy Limited opened the Ground Level Engine (The GLEN) test facility, supporting the world’s most innovative dual fuel gas turbine test facility for operators of legacy gas turbines, including Rolls-Royce Avon and Siemens TB5000/TB5400. Across the past fifteen years, through substantial financial investment, the facility has improved and developed its capabilities, and now has the capacity to carry out more than 120 full performance and endurance tests each year.

Taking place last Thursday 14th June, the 2018 Scottish Engineering Craft Competition saw this year’s finest Mechanical and Electrical engineering apprentices in Scotland battle it out to win the prestigious titles.
